Step aboard for a unique sailing experience through the scenic Nuuk Fjord, guided by a seasoned local expert with deep knowledge of Greenland’s traditional hunting, fishing, and coastal life.

 

This tour follows the historic route of the Danish-Norwegian missionary Hans Egede, as you sail from the Island of Hope to the abandoned village of Kangeq—a site rich in Inuit heritage and dramatic fjord scenery.

 

Along the way, enjoy Arctic fishing, learn traditional techniques, and gain firsthand insights, research on whale populations, sustainable hunting practices, and the environmental changes shaping Greenland today. Keep watch—Nuuk Fjord is home to several whale species, and with a bit of luck, you may spot one in its natural habitat.

 

A rare blend of nature, science, and storytelling, this journey offers guests a deeper understanding of Greenland’s environment, history, and the enduring relationship between its people and the sea.
